Square Enix Has Completely Ignored Final Fantasy VIII's 20th Birthday
Square Enix has been treating Final Fantasy VIII like the unwanted child of the Final Fantasy family for a while now, to the point where they have ignored any kind of upscaled port, despite giving that treatment to both Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy IX.
The disrespect towards Final Fantasy VIII continues in the form of Square Enix totally ignoring the game's 20th anniversary on its social media channels. Final Fantasy VIII was released on February 11th, 1999, which made Monday the 20th anniversary of the game. Websites all over the world celebrated Final Fantasy VIII, yet Square Enix neglected to show Squall or the members of SeeD any love on Twitter.
The official Square Enix Twitter account has spent the past 24 hours shilling Left Alive and the Nintendo Switch/Xbox One ports of Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster, which they did with the picture of the cringy laughing scene from Final Fantasy X.
With its upcoming @Xbox One and #NintendoSwitch release on April 16th, we explore what makes @FINALFANTASY X|X-2 HD Remaster such a timeless RPG experience.https://sqex.link/news-98992
The official Square Enix Europe Twitter account hasn't had any updates since February 7th.
